description
An orange solpan stretched inside a circular frame that supports 36 radially mounted arms. Each arm has 3 beams containing 12 red berries unevenly distributed. The middle beam has one teardrop-shaped berry; the outward beams have groups of seven and four. Juice from the berries is stored in the solpan; it can be collected through a mikli connector in the solpan’s centre. The fully synchronized arms are connected to the frame via a popinout ball joint. The solpan is divided into independent quadrants, each with a hexcell bettery in its centre.
habitat + formations
Direct sunlight deep space and cynmiklae. Avoids large shadowy areas and dark fog cynmiklic clouds. Flymation: spraycone. Flomation: polabi and diformae. Farming flomations limited to beye fields.
usage
The solpan and the berries are edible. If you pick the berries (*FBoff), they will grow back. Fruurberry juice, also known as fruuby, is prized for its warming properties and its ability to significantly speed up decision making. Ideal morning drink for vacillators. The berries themselves contain ucaruma and swirelmeofium, a refined stirrant. Dissolving a crushed, baked solpan in an antuei solution produces Therixool, a full 128 squirt multiChannel fragrance. Channel 61 carries the cologne Yuri Gagarin wore on 12 April 1961; Channel 69 has Neil Armstrong’s eau de toilette from 16 July 1969. The rest of the fruurberry can be unfurled into metamorfiled titanium nanotape.

defence + hazards
Aquamarine solpan indicates an internal reorganization that occurs after 50 juice-producing cycles. During this time, the berries are full of vilstalin poison and are bouncebak shielded. However, fruurberry’s emke defence is easily disabled, often serving as learning grounds for would-be krukers. Vilstalin poison treatment is long and painful; victims often never recover fully.
